Overview

This library provides some classes that can be used to extend the functionality of Delphi's TStream classes.

The classes provided are:

  • A TStream derived class which can wrap another TStream. This is useful as a base class for filters to wrap round existing stream classes.
  • A set of classes that wrap existing streams and provide an IStream interface to them – like Delphi's previously undocumented TStreamAdapter class. Also included is a class that provides a IStream interface to any file or any handle stream.

Unit tests are provided for the classes. You need to have DUnit installed in order to run these tests.

Demo programs that show how to use all the classes are provided in the download.

Documentation

The classes are documented in the Stream Extension Classes Wiki.
